I'm not sure how many times people have to say this to you on this thread, but the Australian care situation is very different to the nz situation in many different ways.

That is not to say Covid is not an issue in NZ - it has certainly impacted virtually everyone in some way, shape or form. Reality is, in NZ covid only entered 1 rest home - with tragic consequences - but in Australia and Melbourne in particular, they never really stomped it out (as it has been done in NZ) - so not only is covid not in rest homes in NZ currently, combined with there rigorous processes in place, but we (theoretically) don't even have that '1 person' to be able to give covid a chance... Might as well start comparing apple and oranges - it would be just as relevant as these types of posts (about Australian care and various issues in it, even prior to covid).

thats because there hasnt been a full on outbreak in NZ , so your statement is a bit naive to say it is different here basing your assumptions on it will never happen in NZ EVER
a rest home or what ever is the same anywhere. if there is a full on outbreak in NZ it will be no different here to overseas that is the risk going forward

Not all rest homes and their infection prevention procedures and protocols are the same Bull. Just ask Norah Barlow

Do you think that with any community spread of infection that those needing care would be safer being looked after at home by a range of different agency personnel? In addition with the less secure vetting of people who may turn up at their front door....What is the alternative to rest home care? The government would be under pressure to increase funding especially if many current borderline cost recovery homes were threatening closure.

Suppose cos people were talking about community spread .....and when the virus gets into an aged care facility it’s (as an aussie said on tv) ‘only a heartbeat away from a calamity’

OK, winner. But from that line of reasoning can one conclude that any news or comment on the virus should be posted to this thread?

Wasn't "Give covid a chance" Sweden's slogan for the pandemic?
